''Robert Schlesinger'sWhite House Ghostsis a welcome addition to the literature on presidents. His book not only adds a significant dimension to our understanding of how presidential speeches were constructed but also deepens our knowledge of the way in which major policies were developed. Schlesinger has given us an altogether delightful and informative study that will become essential reading for anyone interested in the modern presidency. -- Robert Dallek, author ofNixon and Kissinger ''
